Residents are encouraged to set trash out the night before their schedule pick-up day. Best Way drivers are on the road early into the morning attempting to complete collection on busy streets before the traffic of the work day begins.

Holiday Collection: Best Way picks up trash on every holiday with the exception of Christmas. Christmas day routes are pushed back one day with Friday routes being collected on Saturday. Residents are encouraged to set trash out the night before their scheduled collection day. Routes are often running hours ahead of schedule due to residents that do not set trash out on holidays.

Placement: Carts should be placed within 4 feet of the curb with the wheels away from the street. The arrows on the lid should be pointing to the street. Carts should also be separated by 3 feet as well as placed 3 feet away from other obstacles such as cars, mailboxes, trees, etc. It is the residents responsibility to ensure carts are not blocked by vehicles.

Excess Trash: Arrangements may be made directly with Best Way Disposal to have excess trash collected. Trash outside of the carts, except for items defined as Heavy Pick-Up materials, will not otherwise be collected.

Tree limbs are accepted for compost material if cut, bundled, and tied.

Bundles shall consist of bushes and tree branches not more than 3 inches in diameter, 4 inches in length, and shall not be bound in more than 35 lbs. weight per bundle.

If carts or trash cans are used, then please leave lids open or off. Since pick up is the day after trash pick up, many residents will not have moved their trash cans from the day before and Best Way will not have the time to stop and check all carts for compost materials.

No bags or cans with mixed trash and compost. The compost site may reject loads that contain trash.

The biodegradable bags can be picked up from Trinna Davis in Municipal Development (Room 112) at City Hall. For more information, please contact Trinna Davis-Simmons at 765-648-6213.

Bags can also generally be found at stores such as Lowes, Menards, Grocery Stores, Tractor Supply and other hardware stores.
